What is the source of your movies?
Our movies come from many sources around the world. MovieCentral.org is an alternative source of movie distribution for independent film makers and major film studios.

HOW do I WATCH MOVIES after they are downloaded to my computer?
Generally speaking, most of the movies are in an MPEG format for download to your PC. They can then either be viewed on any computer using the Windows Media Player which comes free with any PC. If you have an Apple computer, you will not be able to download movies from MovieCentral at this time. More information about viewing MPEG movies with an Apple computer may be found here: Quicktime MPEG playback.

For viewing on a DVD player, you must first create a DVD of the movie you have downloaded. To do this you must also have a DVD burner connected to your computer and DVD creation software from MovieCentral or others. Once you become a MovieCentral Member, these tools will be available from the "Members" area of MovieCentral.

CAN I watch these movies on my home DVD player?
For viewing on a DVD player, you must first create a DVD of the movie you have downloaded. To do this you must also have a DVD burner connected to your computer and DVD creation software purchased from MovieCentral or others. Once you become a MovieCentral Member, these tools will be available from the "Members" area of MovieCentral.

Do these movies come with closed captioning?
Although there are exceptions, generally there is not closed captioning on the movies that are available from MovieCentral.org.

What download speed do you recommend?
As fast as possible, since the download time varies with the location from which they are sent to you, as well as your local internet connection speed. We recommend that all members of MovieCentral have high speed access to the Internet, with a minimum connection speed of at least 300kb.

What format are the movies currently in?
Most of the movies were digitized in the MPEG format, but some are available only in DIVX. The movies do not always state which MPEG format they were recorded in. Most were done in MPEG2, although more and more are now being done in MPEG4 and Apple's Quicktime format.

Is the file format suitable for burning DVD quality?
The quality of the movies varies from VHS quality to slightly less than store bought DVD. However, the cost of downloading and making your own movies is much less than the cost of a store bought DVD.

HOW DO I COPY MY HOME VIDEO/FILM/PHOTOS to DVD?
This used to be almost impossible, but luckily for you it's getting cheaper and easier all the time.For a simple video-to-DVD transfer you can buy a DVD video recorder ($500 to $3,000) and connect it to your VCR or camcorder. It works just like a VCR but it records onto a disc instead of tape. For transferring photos or music, or for making a customized DVD with menus and chapters and other fun stuff, you'll need the following:

  • A computer
  • A DVD recordable drive ($100-$400, or it might come with the computer)
  • DVD authoring software (usually comes with the drive or computer, or you can buy it for $40-$27,000, see authoring tools section 5.4). Note: You must use authoring software. You can't just copy MPEG or AVI or JPEG files onto a disc and expect it to play in DVD players.

    Then take the following steps:

    If the video and pictures are not already in digital form (AVI, WMV, DivX, QuickTime, JPEG, and so on) you need to transfer them to your computer.

    For analog video, such as VHS and Hi8, you need a video capture device or a computer with built-in analog video input; for digital video such as DV or D8 you need a 1394/FireWire input on the computer.

    For film, first have it transferred to tape or digital video at a camera shop or video company (see a list at HomeMovieDay.com).

    For slides or photos, use a scanner (or rent scanning time at a place such as Kinkos). Import the video and audio clips into the DVD-Video authoring program. Many DVD authoring programs will convert and encode the video and audio for you.

    If not, you have to Encode the video into MPEG-2 (make sure the display frame rate is set to 29.97 for NTSC or 25 for PAL).

    Encode the audio into Dolby Digital (or, if your video is short enough that you have room on the disc, format the audio as 48kHz PCM). You can also use MPEG Level 2 audio, but it won't work on all players. Create some chapter points in your video tracks or let the DVD recording software do it for you. To put photos on the disc, use the slideshow feature in the authoring software or make each picture a menu. Most DVD authoring software will directly read TIFF, JPEG, BMP, and PhotoShop files. Create menus that link to your video clips and slideshows. Write your finished gem out to a recordable DVD ($2-$15). (See 4.3.1 for all compatibility issues.)
